ROLLINSFORD — Garrison Players’ production of Steel Magnolias snapped up five awards, including Best Production, Community Theatre, at the 11th Annual New Hampshire Theatre Awards held at the Stockbridge Theatre at Pinkerton Academy in Derry.

As part of the 60th anniversary season at the Garrison Players Arts Center (GPAC) in Rollinsford, Steel Magnolias ran from Sept. 14 through 29. The show was the first to use the newly rebuilt stage at the arts center, and rehearsals were held during construction, further testament to the cast and crew.
